Google Launches Opal for Easy App Creation - Google is testing Opal, a vibe-coding app enabling users to create and publish mini web apps with text prompts. Available through Google Labs in the U.S., Opal targets non-technical users with a visual workflow editor that allows app customization without coding. Users can remix existing apps or begin from scratch.
The launch positions Google alongside companies like Canva and Figma, empowering non-developers to prototype apps easily. Users can share their creations using Google accounts, highlighting Google's aim to simplify app development for non-technical audiences.
